Notes

England wore this classic white Umbro shirt for the first time on 17 February 1993 against San Marino and the last on 16 November 1994 against Nigeria.  It was the preferred strip during most of England's disastrous World Cup 1994 qualifying campaign, although it survived Graham Taylor's regime and continued in use through the first year of Terry Venables' reign.  Altogether England wore it 14 times.

For the first time, a white margin surrounded the three lions within the emblem, which, as a result, was larger than previously.  This feature was not discontinued until the 1999 home white and away red shirts, on which the emblem's traditional design reappeared. 

England wore squad numbers at the 1993 US Cup. The white uniform was only worn against Brazil, where the players’ surnames appeared in red on the back, above the number, which also appeared in white on the right thigh of the shorts, alongside the emblem.
